As a company with both pipelines and wind turbines, Enbridge is delivering energy security and driving transformation toward a lower-carbon economy.

And we’re proud to deliver economic benefits in the Canadian provinces and the U.S. states where we do business.

Tax revenue

Enbridge’s presence in the community fuels quality of life through ongoing tax revenue. In 2018:

Enbridge paid $37.3 million in property tax across Saskatchewan for our pipelines and related facilities, such as storage facilities, pump stations, and compressor stations;

Enbridge paid $2.7 million in other taxes (including payroll tax, fuel tax, and excise tax) across Saskatchewan; and

On a national scale, Enbridge paid $344.3 million in property tax, $136.7 million in corporate income tax, and $112.7 million in other taxes (including carbon tax, payroll tax, fuel tax, and excise tax) across Canada, for a total of $593.7 million.

This revenue can be used for schools, infrastructure (roads and bridges), health and wellness, recreation, transportation and other services that help strengthen the fabric of the community.

Economic spinoffs*

Enbridge’s ongoing operations, and planned projects, continue to stimulate local and regional economies. Through procurement spending, we’re helping to create indirect employment, support local businesses, and establish economic spinoffs. In 2018:

Enbridge's operating and administrative expenditures in Saskatchewan, on such items as maintenance costs, equipment leases, power consumption, and field personnel salaries and wages, totaled $222.3 million;

Community investment

Enbridge is committed to supporting and strengthening the communities near our pipelines and facilities, and being a good neighbor means the world to us. In 2018:

Enbridge invested $1,275,000 in community-strengthening initiatives across Saskatchewan—and supported numerous not-for-profit agencies in the province—aligned to our three focus areas of health and safety, environment, and community;

Across Canada, Enbridge invested more than $15.5 million in communities near our pipelines, projects and facilities, supporting initiatives that focus on health and safety, environment, and community;

Enbridge’s various employee-driven United Way campaigns from across Canada and the U.S. raised nearly $7.9 million. That total, which includes employee donations, special events, and corporate matching, will help sustain community outreach, poverty reduction, and educational initiatives being coordinated by United Way chapters near Enbridge’s projects and operations;

Through the Our Community Partners program, Enbridge employees volunteered nearly 11,400hours for causes they care about; in recognition of their efforts, we contributed about $208,000 in volunteer grants to organizations in Canada and the U.S.; and

Our Helping Hands in Action program awarded nearly $370,000 in grants, and more than $505,000 in matching gifts, and completed 367 employee-led projects focused on improving quality of life in communities.

Our workforce

Enbridge’s people live and work in communities like yours as colleagues, neighbors and friends. In 2018:
